Run an md5sum on the file when it's uploaded to see if it's already in the system. If so just point your DB record to the original entry into the system. Store the filename so that it comes back to the user exactly the same.
You -might- be looking at 16 hours of development time there, probably closer to 8. Pretty much nothing in the scope of total development costs for the system.
It'd be interesting to see just how many of those md5sums would match up.
Arming students might prevent a few crimes, but it will also end up with innocent people getting shot.
This should be easy to prove. In the United States it's legal in some areas to carry guns on campus. Utah is one of those places. I'd guess Vermont and Alaska permit it too, but I'm not exactly sure. At any rate, you've got Utah at the very least.
Care to find me an example of a student legally carrying a concealed weapon that resulted in innocent people getting shot?
Seriously here. How can this be more expensive than treating the kids as adults?
Therapy, probation, rehab, "just one more chance," coordination with school employees, yada yadda yadda.
There's a myriad of things that a juvenile can go through before they just toss their butt into a cell. It's a last resort. With adults it's the only option if you can't pay for your own rehab, probation, or therapy.
So until we price "destruction of the human species through climate change" somehow
Then regulate the production of electricity. It shouldn't matter one whit if I'm using 1 kilowatt of energy to fuel an incandescent, a CFL, my microwave, or hell, just zapping my balls with bare wires.
One thing that bears mentioning is that stores like Wal-Mart, especially Wal-Mart, aren't really retail stores: They're a supply managment company that just happens to push everything to a retail outlet at their end nodes.
The "magic" behind Wal-Mart isn't that they can survive with a dirty store and merchandise strewn about. The magic is that they're able to get those cheap products to their destination on time and in an efficient manner. I'd wager that if Wal-Mart was suddenly forbidden from having retail outlets any more they'd still survive as a company just by providing other stores with deliveries.
They're share more in common with UPS or FedEx than they do with your friendly neighborhood store.
Oh please. -1 Flamebait. Democrats have a majority vote. Maybe not enough to counter a veto but certainly enough to pass the hockey puck up to the Prez.
No, they can't get something to the president alone. You need 60 people to call for cloture in the senate before a vote can be taken.
Yes, I'm one of the 8 people in America that watches CSPAN.
We could use a new system. Perhaps if we pushed more of the decisions to the people it would become too expensive to 'buy' support?
Bingo! If we could reign in government so that the decision making, tax collection, and spending where done more at a local or state level rather than at the federal level I think we'd be a lot better off.
Maybe we could craft up a document detailing what the federal government had control over, and then slap a little clause at the end to the effect of:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people.
Note that Washington DC leads the nation in per-capita violent crime, even though they have very restrictive firearms ownership laws ( until recently, private ownership of handguns was illegal ).
Still is, actually. The law was struck down in the Parker case but still remains in effect while DC appeals the decision.
There was some movement in Congress to repeal the law after Parker won but it didn't go anywhere, nor would I want it to go anywhere, as that would strike the case as moot and the Supreme Court wouldn't have any reason to hear it.
There's a scene in Bowling for Columbine where he shows Heston giving a speech. The camera pans away, the speech continues, and when the camera is back on Heston he's wearing different clothes and on a different stage.
Moore pieced together two different speeches.
I'm sure there's more, but that's the one that's always jumped out at me as being completely outrageous.

You might be able to get away with dunking Swiss GP11* under water for months, but I doubt you could pull that off with anything that NATO's using.

I should celebrate this.

As I already said, by regulating the emissions. Cap them and the cost of electricity will either sky-rocket or we'll have to switch to nuclear energy.
Mandating that we all switch to CFLs is silly. It's not the bulbs producing CO2 it's the creation of that electricity at coal plants.

Alright, who broke the comments? Seriously, I'm stuck in this "new" version and it doesn't make fuck-all of any sense to me.
Odd example. McVeigh was picked up a couple of hours outside of OKC for driving without plates after the bomb went off.
The legislature controls taxes and spending. I believe this topic is usually covered in most grade schools.
Bingo! If we could reign in government so that the decision making, tax collection, and spending where done more at a local or state level rather than at the federal level I think we'd be a lot better off.

Still is, actually. The law was struck down in the Parker case but still remains in effect while DC appeals the decision.
There was some movement in Congress to repeal the law after Parker won but it didn't go anywhere, nor would I want it to go anywhere, as that would strike the case as moot and the Supreme Court wouldn't have any reason to hear it.
But I've never seen him do that.
Look harder.
